Abstract:

Visualizing second-order 3D tensor fields continue to
be a challenging task.
Although there are several algorithms that have been presented,
no single algorithm by itself is sufficient for the
analysis because of the complex nature of tensor fields.
In this paper,
we present two new methods,
based on volume deformation, to show the effects of the
tensor field upon its underlying media.
We focus on providing a continuous
representation of the nature of the tensor fields.
Each of these visualization algorithms is good at displaying some particular
properties of the tensor field.
